To what extent does the EQ-5D-3L correlate with the FACT-H & amp;N of patients with oral cancer during the perioperative period?

ConclusionsOur results indicate that actual physical performance might be most important for cost –utility analysis, whereas the assessment of familial feelings or friendship seems less important. However, the EQ-5D-3L appears to generally correlate with the FACT-H&N of patients with oral cancer during the perioperative period. Therefore, it is reasonable to assess the cost performance of oral cancer treatment using the EQ-5D-3L in Japan.
